Best stable 2.2 rom

Looking for other user's experiences with the 2.2 roms. I understand that the official 2.2 update is looking grim and there are some apps that I want to download that are 2.2 only.
Stability and non OC and UV would be ideal. Any suggestions?

Rom: Serendipity
Kernel: Speedmod
Modem: JK4
Only thing is if you flash serendipity you will have to flash speedmod seperately cause it comes with an oc/uv kernel bundled in. That is the combo I run and its very stable...

Stable, great data speeds, incredible GPS, lightweight stock-like froyo 2.2 setup (copied from my current signature)
ROM: Cognition v3.0 [link]
Kernel: Firebird 2 [link]
Modem: UGJL2 [link]
Give it a shot, and make sure to post in DG's threads about what a badass he is

A little uneasy about flashing a kernel. I want to make an easy transition to the new 2.2 when it comes out.

Dorian's UGJK3 FroYo - Gingerbread Edition
Dorian's XXJPY 2.2.1
I haven't used the above ROMs but they seem pretty successful/stable from the posts in the threads I linked above.

You can always odin one-click back to stock if needed when an official (non-rogers) froyo is released. If you're thinking of flashing a rom there is really no reason to be uneasy about flashing a kernel because all roms flash a kernel and modem. Everyone likes different roms and kernels and modems and have different ones that work better, so I would suggest looking at what rom you think would give you what you are looking for, comparing kernels, and modems. Remember to read the modem thread over in development about kernel/modem combinations too.

flashed over darky's 8.1 (ported to captivate) and is really fast!

You could use SGS kernel flasher. That's what I used because I felt the same way.

Serendipity.

There are a lot of good choices available right now I am currently running Pheonix 3.5 and its where it should be as far as development. Any of the JPY 2.2.1 roms should be good to go as many of the bugs on all of them have been worked out. the new roms coming out as of right now are based on the Armani captivate and the bell captivate. These are still being tweaked out for maximum performance and will eventually be the best choice for our phones, but in the mean time I would choose between Pheonix 3.5, perception build 10.2 or cognition 2.3b7 a little step backwards, but very stable. These are great places to get you feet wet before you get the bug to flash the latest and greatest XDA has to offer.
If and when ATT finally decides to release an official froyo the best chioces for an operating system will still be found right here, and you'll be glad you learned to get the most out of your phone.

I'm running the same thing (version 2.0), but with the JL2 modem. I even have the circle batter mod, and there are no issues.

Good combo
storm717 is definitely on to something!
I have mod-ed three Captivates to this three part combo...(my own, then two coworker/friends) we have all had nothing but good experience with this combination. A faster, better Captivate is waiting for you too...definitely use "Rom Manager" makes it much safer and easier.
ROM: Cognition v3.0

Watch out when using a Captivate ROM (such as Cognition) with i9000 kernel/modem (such as Firebird 2) as it will cause bluetooth voice to not work (so much static it will be unusable).
If you use a i9000 ROM it will not make use of the hardware noise cancellation (audience chip) in the Captivate, so people you call may have a hard time hearing you if there is background noise.

I'm on cm7 nightly 30 and loving it. Just checked and the 31 was released yesterday. I've noticed a huge increase in battery life and performance, especially without ADW Launcher and just using stock Gingerbread's instead.

I'm using the CoreDroid theme. It has excellent battery life and its smooth and fast. In the 4.8 update I noticed it had bast wifi signal pickup. Once they fix it ill recommend it
HTC Inspire not Desire!

Leedroid or CM7

It's kind of a personal choice. I like RCMix, Coredroid, and Leedroid. I am currently hooked on Di11igaf's ROM, though. It's all about what you like, so just give them all a try and see what you prefer.

Depends on what you like, either be performance or look, I really like the sense UI, but I also love a fast phone, I have tried Coredroid, Android revolution, stock and Cyanogenmod 7, so far Android revolution seems to be the most stable of all, Coredroid had several apps force close and CM 7 was acting weird tried several flashes and all ended in reboot loop.

TPC v2 with Leedroid Kernel 2.2.8 is lightning fast, not a single issue with anything, gps locks in 10-15 seconds on 7+ sats, 2+ DL, 1.4+ UL speeds on average (i've hit 4+ DL and 2+ UL depending on time of day and location) and the battery is a huge increase over stock. Was seeing about 8 hours before battery warning with stock, now 12 with same usage (alot of conference calls, LiveProfile messaging, and march madness updates ). I flashed the dilligaf but had some issues with connection speed, but the rom and kernel are INSANE fast and he hasnt even OC'd the kernel yet (quadrant pulled a 2200, my current tpc/lee with stock OC+18 i only hit mid 1800s).
CM7 isnt done yet, for linux users its like a rolling distro, too many kinks and hate having to update nightly to find out what is working now and what that update broke, i need something stable as this is my work and personal phone, 'my android kernel ruined my radio' wouldnt be an acceptable excuse.
I haven't really wanted the flash of the other ROMs as i usually remove all the widgets from my home screen. If i want to know the weather, i goto the weather on the internet, if i want the news, i look it up, i dont need it updating on my phone constantly, and grouping of the icons defeats the purpose of having 5 home screens anyway, so that point seems moot....the only ROM i'm currently interested in is the ASOP style once dilligaf is done....my 2cents

He has a link in the faq, i would avoid the wireless tether program, the stock works just fine

My market wouldn't update with TPC and I could not stand the animations with LeeDroid although his kernel is the best out right now. My current setup is in my sig, was on RcMixHD 5.2 for ages but after a while, the novelty of Gingerbread wore off. I can't see any benefit of using a Sense Gingerbread ROM until custom kernels are available. I also ran CM7 for a while but I can't keep away from Sense, I love it!
Just my $0.02

FYI, dilligaf just dropped a new kernel with OC, i run the ext2 kernel version and all my benchmark scores outdo lees (who i was JUST running and loved)....his rom is coming out shortly as well, probably my next flash

Sorry to add to the mix but I have tried them all and have made CoreDroid my daily rom. Battery life like no other and fewest problems. GPS locks on 9 sats at 60 MPH and has a 9' margin of error! See my posts within his thread if you wish it has screenshots.

Cant go wrong with di11igaf's either! I still use his on one of my captivates!
CoreDroid (IMHO) is more of a "Finished" product.......

I was never a fan of the Desire HD ports, they always seemed to screw something up. I stick with the Inspire base roms, or currently MIUI and im loving the MIUI, i have a feeling i will be sticking with this for a while

[Q] Best rom htc sensation battery wise?

First of all, Thanks to all HTC Sensation's Rom developers. We have quite a few. HTC Sensation is as of now one of the most supported devices…kudos to them...It is really appreciated.
I am just tester that switched from iphone(got sick of it) to Android about 1-1/2 to 2 years ago. I started with the amazing HTC HD2, then HTC Desire Z(t-mobile G2), T-Mobile LG-2X, and now the powerful HTC Sensation.
I have always looked for the best battery developed rom offered. For example on HTC HD2 , I could not find any better than Hyperdroid from pongster, or Virtuous on G2, Eagleblood on LG2X. These are just my modest opinion
I have tried about 10 different ROMs on my Sensation and so far the best I have found battery wise is Insertcoin….(as I said it is just my opinion). Insertcoin is fine and 40 to 50 % better compared to stock, but it does not compare to the battery life I was getting from Hyperdriodv11 from pongster (which with normal use lasted 1 1/2 to 2 days, on heavy use lasted the entire day). INSERTCOIN give a good 14 to 16 hours (normal use) which I cannot complaint about it, but o when I have heavy use I need to charge it at least once or twice a day.
I have only one Sensation and I have tested quite a few roms but no all. There are about 30 to 40 out there. I am posting 33, sorry if a miss others. I have tested quite a few so far would like to share my experiences, but I would also like other member opinions which may help me and others to make their best pick.
This a bashing or a pissing contest..it is just your opinion please be gently
I will appreciate your inputs.
Thanks

Too bad this poll hasn't gotten a larger voting result. I would love to see the poll with votes in the hundreds.

You forgot CM7 alpha 7.... ive tried a couple different roms and lees and mikes dont compare to CM7.

Not all SOCs are created equal
I have tried the following ROMs so far and have monitored battery usage on them with the Current Widget and logs.
1. ARHD 4.1.6
2. InsertCoin 3.4.4
3. Reverted AOSP
4. MIUI.us Latest
My best battery usage (lowest under 10Ma) is with InsertCoin's ROM. The other ROMs showed heavy battery drain(even without any other apps except stock), particularly with ARHD and Reverted AOSP. ARHD and AOSP use custom kernels unlike InsertCoin which uses stock by default. I don't however think the problem is with the ROM or Kernels. My phone SOC just cant seem to handle undervolting or any other kernel mods very well.
I love InsertCoin. VERY useful additions/changes from stock. I also love the speed on ARHD. Tough decision between the two but the battery life was the clincher so sticking with InsertCoin for now. I love the simplicity of MIUI but too many FCs at the moment. InsertCoin has been the most dependable ROM for my phone.
I am also going to try ARHD with some other kernels and see how that works.
Like I said, not all SOCs are created equal so mileage WILL vary. This poll is at best some kind of starting point for the battery conscious.

IMAO, CM7 is awesome, more than 1 day with medium use !

I've been using ARHD for about 2 weeks now and battery has been absolutely horrible. I cant seem to get more than 4 1/2 hours without getting to 25%. I'm going to try InsertCoin next. Can't wait for the ICS version on CM though!

Just out of curiosity...

What is you alls configuration on your phone?

Kernel:
Modem:
Battery life:
Just seeking to see if there is a better combo out there other than just CM7, which currently gives me 15-16 hours of battery life.

Ok, I've got two. I would like to note I run JuiceDefender in an Aggressive Mode before you continue
Rom: Infused 2.2.3
Kernel: Entropy's Driver
Modem: UCKI3
Battery life: ~23 hours
Rom: Doctorz
Kernel: Entropy's Driver
Modem: UCKI3
Battery Life: ~16 hours
* should be noted I need to give the new ROM a few days to settle. I suspect I'll see a life increase as things calm down.

Rom: Latest ATT Stock
Kernel: Latest ATT Stock
Modem: Latest ATT Stock
Battery life: ~14-16hrs of average use

Infused 2.2.2
Default kernel that came with ROM
KI3
~24 day with spotty signal half the time
~36-48 hours if I switch to EDGE when not accessing data heavily
Infused 2.2.2
Infusion GB 1.1
KI3
~24 day with spotty signal half the time
Undervolted slightly with max speed capped at 1000

Rom: MIUI newest build
Kernel: one with rom
Modem: UCKI3
Battery life: 10-14 hrs ( android system seems to be the bastard raping my battery )

Dang. I think the most i have managed to get out of my battery was 26 hours on Infused.
Out of CM7 i have not managed to get past 18 hours. Which is not bad.
ill have to let this new flash settle for at least 4 days. but i don't suspect a major change.

Rom: latest att leak deodexed and rooted by jordan
Kernel: entropy's latest kernel (11/2)
Modem: UCKJ4
Battery life: 16-24 hours depending on use.
That being said, if I finish charging before bed and leave it off the charger all night, I'll get 24+ easily but 8 of it is idle at least (screenshot below). LOL.

Yeh. I'm back on infused. Imma see if I can squeeze more battery after tunning it.

UCKK1 here. Pure stock and loving it. No random FC's. Very smooth and as much as I liked Entropy's kernel and JE's roms, I'm doing great with this leak so far. Battery is going strong too. Maybe my hardware is stubborn and likes stock better?
Used the new UCKJ1 one click with stock boot loaders. Replaced files with the KK1 leak and my phone really hasn't been this happy since Infused 1.6.

[Q]: What is the most "stable" Senseless ICS AOSP Rom?

Does anyone know the most "stable" AOSP Senseless Rom? I'm sick of the battery life on Sense roms, and I have 2000mAh battery. If anyone can help, i would appreciate it.

Download the newest firmware from there that suites you and flash it from the bootloader.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1098849
Flash Android Revolution HD with the setup you want in 4EXT.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1470497
Download V41 and go through Aroma picking exactly what you want, requires 4EXT recovery.
This is the best option because you get the reliability of ARHD but can customize what you need to get to stock ICS

I just said that to someone in General, and it applies here. ARHD + AOSP upgrade = Best, customizable combo rom.

If battery is a major factor, consider Sharpy STRPT CM9. I am 24hr off charge at 42% with my normal usage, normally dead by late evening. Overnight (7hrs) I lost 3%, still syncing email etc.

You should be pretty safe with any of the top ROM's at the moment as they're all run by quite experienced programmers.
Running what I have in my signature is giving me unbelievable results in the battery area, as well as performance, it's quite incredible actually.

you shoud try Virtuous Inquisition: D
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA

VI 4.0.1 hands down!If you need a solid kernel to go with it Faux 004 is the way to go.

For Sense-less ROM, I think Virtuous is a solid option.
ARHD with Sense removed is also a good option, but requires a bit more tinkering from my understanding.

I've tried ExtremeSensation Prime 5 and found that to be a very stable ROM with good battery life on my XE.
Senseless and from what I can see, no major problems and almost everything is AOSP. Worth a try.
